Hi, Jack. If I had it to do all over again I would quite possibly work in the field of cosmology in one regard or another. I'm envious of those who do work in cosmology-related fields..
At last year's SuperComputing conference I had the privilege of meeting George Smoot, Noble prize winner for physics in 2006. A small group of 5 of us sat at the Berkeley booth one afternoon and he talked with us about cosmology for over an hour. --Doug On Sun, Nov 9, 2008 at 7:14 PM, Jack Leibowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Doug, > > May I boast for a minute that my wife, retired from NASA, worked on the > HUBBLE and WMAPS.
